Always love seeing @jzwill on TV and hearing how @Allbirds is doing its part to help stem climate change @smerconish @CNN

We @WarbyParker are all very excited about our new Virtual Try-On! Go #teamwarby!
Leveraging the face-mapping tech on Apple's iPhones, the Warby Parker app will now include a "virtual try-on" feature, which lets customers preview what glasses would look like in impressive detail using augmented reality. wired.trib.al/wGY2fsT
Thanks! So glad you like it!
I haven’t been impressed with a new app in a long time. The new augmented reality feature in @WarbyParker’s app that allows you to try on its glasses is the future of retail. 👏👏👏 cc:@NeilBlumenthal
